Pros
These stores are a franchise opportunity operating as a Verizon Wireless retail agent; and therefore owned by independent individuals. The pro's for me were more flexibility with scheduling, the ability to contribute my ideas about store policies and procedures, and a much more laid back approach- as opposed to corporate stores that chew you up and spit you out when you don't hit ridiculous quotas.
Cons
The pay is dependent on the store owner; it can be descent, or pretty bad. It all depends on their financial state, and how well they run the business. I was able to secure a fair salary between 25-30K. I also received bonuses up to $600 a month. But this soon changed after a few years, and I found myself working many more hours, and no commissions due to financial constraints of the owner. I eventually quit due to dropping pay, poor senior management, and lack of respect towards all employees.
